Efficiently streamlining your business processes with bespoke websites and web applications
Creating inspired digital solutions for clients like these since 1996:
Bespoke websites
Bespoke responsive websites make you stand out – and make you money
Easy-to-use by people on the go
Visitors expect the exceptional from your website; your business demands the functionality and flexibility of a bespoke web presence.
Since 1996, we've listened hard and designed custom websites that get results. Responsive, easy-to-use websites for when prospective customers must find you and get information on the go. Websites with SEO designed-in to generate new leads and profitable sales.
Not just in the UK either. Our website translation and localisation experience helps you target audiences in their native language – and specific sectors.
The website you want; the functionality you need
You deserve the best, so we'll never cut corners. From first contact we'll understand your requirements, establish which bespoke features you really need, identify whether you'll need support with content, work to your brand guidelines and show you how proactive website management would help you in the future.
As our existing clients know, we look after everything: easy-to-use interfaces, complex programming, bespoke web apps, stunning front-end design and effective SEO. Virtually anything's possible when we create the bespoke website you want – with the functionality you need.
Custom applications
Applications that run on desktops, touch screens and more...
First we'll thoroughly understand your business
Off-the-shelf applications have their place. But imagine how a custom application would streamline your business processes, improve workflow, save time, boost productivity and support more profitable business – especially when it improves or successfully integrates with your legacy systems.
Thoroughly understanding your business is the key to designing your successful application. We start with your needs and how to improve things – always challenge your existing processes to improve efficiency.
Since 1996, to make the development process as straightforward as possible for you, we've refined it, into a seamless progression of meetings, planning, wire-frame prototypes, project management, development planning, user testing and trouble-free deployment.
Rewarding user experiences, regardless of device
Throughout the process, we ensure excellent communication, realistic timescales and high-quality UI design. Whether your application must work on handheld scanners, smartphones or large touchscreen monitors, you can count on fast, intuitive, rewarding user experiences when you want to do the following:
- Gather and report on data
- Create custom ecommerce platforms
- Integrate with your CRM
- Improve existing processes
- Something else? (Just tell us)
Whatever your objectives, our experience as custom web application developers means we help you do better business whatever the device.
Managed web services
Taking the hassle out of managing your website, digital marketing and PPC advertising
If it's web-related, we manage it
With so many marketing challenges on your to-do list, you want relief from the complexities of maintaining an effective web presence. And the peace of mind from managed hosting and business-grade email backed by the experience and support of friendly partners.
If it's web-related, we've got the digital marketing skills and experience to manage it for you – from your routine content updates and social media presence to business-boosting email campaigns.
Remember the power of AdWords too – supported by our keyword research, strategy and rigorous monitoring to build your pay-per-click (PPC) traffic. Or organic search engine optimisation (SEO) designed with human searchers as well as search engines in mind.
Monitoring and measurement gives you control
We can monitor your web presence too – using tracking, split testing, site-performance monitoring, anomaly checks and other sophisticated techniques to improve user engagement. And because you must 'measure before you can manage', clear monthly/bi-monthly reports (and expert interpretation) give you control of your online business.
You won't be the first client to discover how we add value, help businesses make money, deliver peace of mind and free valuable resource for other tasks.
If you're like our other clients, we're sure you'll love how we just 'get' your objectives and work our socks off as a trusted extension of your team.
Case Studies
What do our clients actually say about us?
About us
(Actually, it's about you).
Who we are and what we do matters – because of what it means for you when we design and build your bespoke website or web application and manage your web services.
As the successful evolution of a digital design consultancy that's been Gloucestershire-based since 1996, we work with carefully chosen strategic partners; public and private sector clients; plcs, SMEs and not-for-profits.
Clients as diverse as Unilever, NHS and Age UK love working with our small, professional, focused team – and the results we get for them.
What happens next is all about you.

A few years ago, I spent an enjoyable weekend fishing with Rich Rossignol during the Long Lake Ice Fishing Derby. In fact, I had such a good time, I went back and fished with him again the next year.
Rossignol and his friends are avid anglers. They show up early, stay as late as possible, and (this is my favorite part) they know that slow fishing is not a reason to have a miserable time on the ice. When the fishing's slow, Rossignol and his pals — men, women, entire families — are still smiling. They're also probably eating something really tasty … see? I told you this was my favorite part.
During my weekends fishing not far from Birch Point, I also learned that Rossignol was an eternal optimist. When a flag went up — anyone's flag — he always seemed convinced that the derby-winner was attached to the other end of the line.
Unfortunately, when I fished with him that optimism was unfounded.
But over the recent weekend's 8th annual derby, that positive outlook was rewarded … to the tune of $1,500.
Rossignol checked in on Monday to find out if I'd heard his big news. I had: On a lake known for producing large landlocked salmon, Rossignol caught the largest of the weekend: A bruiser that weighed 7 pounds, 14.2 ounces.
It was the largest he's ever caught, he said. Most importantly, he caught it at the right time: During a derby that pays top anglers hefty prize money. This year's derby drew 624 entrants — an all-time record.
Alas, I stayed home this year. Trying to emulate Rossignol's can-do attitude, I have been telling myself that had I made the trip north, that fish would have … may have … visited one of my traps instead. Of course, that's not true: Rossignol lives on the lake. He fishes it hard during the winter. And finally, that expertise paid off.
Another highlight for me: I also learned that another St. John Valley resident, Scott Picard, finished third in the brook trout category with an 18-incher that weighed 2 pounds, 0.8 ounces and earned him $300. I have also shared time in a boat with Picard, and fished with him on the ice of Long Lake.
The fact that two people I have fished with caught huge fish and earned substantial cash tells me I'm fishing with the right people.
It also tells me that I'm not learning fast enough.
The complete list of Long Lake Ice Fishing Derby winners (Note: The derby lakes included Long, Cross, St. Froid, Square, Eagle, Glazier and Beau lakes):
Landlocked salmon: 1. Rich Rossignol, 7 pounds, 14.2 ounces ($1,500), 2. Ken Cormier, 7 pounds, 5.4 ounces ($750), 3. Tyler Thibeault, 5 pounds, 12.2 ounces ($300)

Aluminium, for cables with 12 single sleeved strands.
Nanoxia CF Cableclip CC-12, Aluminium, Aluminium, 1 stuk(s)
Under the label "CoolForce - powered by Nanoxia" we present selected components for demanding water cooling and modding enthusiasts.
We developed these cable clips in order to give users the opportunity to have a very tidy cable management inside their cases.
We decided early on to have our CoolForce Cable Clips manufactured from high-grade aluminum instead of plastics. This ensures that the clips not only are very handy, they also meet our requirement that they should offer visual and stylistic value.
The clips consist of two parts. Four Allen-Screws are included to connect the two parts. The installation of the cable clips is a breeze. Users can fix the cable clips inside their case using either M3 screws or adhesive tape (both not included).
This clip is suited for cables with 12 single sleeved strands.

Caterpillar 297D-XHP Rubber Tracks and Track Repair
Are you looking for OEM Quality Parts for your 297D-XHP MTL loader, but don't want to pay CAT prices?
But can't seem to find a replacement part manufacturer that can meet up to that promise?
At TrackLoaderParts.com, we understand that you probably are not an expert on rubber tracks and other replacement parts. With so many different brands each making their claims of quality, how do you know which rubber track can deliver?
TrackLoaderParts.com is a supplier of DuroForce Rubber Tracks and Undercarriage parts. DuroForce tirelessly engineers their undercarriage parts and rubber tracks to make sure that you receive the highest quality part, all at a competitive price. On top of which they back up their claim with a 15 month free replacement warranty.
DuroForce Rubber Tracks Guide
So what should you look for in your Replacement Rubber Tracks?
Kevlar Belt Core:
Terex Posi-Track loaders used a non-metal core rubber track. In the OEM and DuroForce non-metal core rubber tracks, the rubber is molded around a Kevlar belt core which has been proven to resist stretching and provide unmatched durability.
Rubber and Rubber Compounds:
As the primary ingredient in rubber tracks, DuroForce uses the same compounds that you find in your original Terex tracks. The difference comes in DuroForce® proprietery processing of those compounds. Like in baking a cake, having the ingrediants without instructions, does not guarantee a great cake! This processing results in superior durability and wear.
Tread Pattern Design:
For Terex Posi-Track Loaders the OEM tread pattern provides not only excellent traction for multiple applications but is also integral to the strength to Kevlar Belt Core Rubber Tracks. For this reason, DuroForce uses this identical tread pattern.
DuroForce boasts a less than .5% failure across all of their products, and back up all their products with a 15 month warranty. Order DuroForce Replacement parts for your Caterpillar 297-D-XHP today!

This page describes the process of installing, updating and removing FreeSWITCH™ and its prerequisites on macOS using the Terminal application instead of the macFI. This page is part of the FreeSWITCH™ macOS documentation.
What You Should Already Know
You must know your way around the macOS Finder, Dock and Textedit. You should also be familiar with the standard macOS folders (directories) such as Applications, Utilities, Downloads, Users, etc.
New To You
A new folder (directory) named /usr/local, it's part of the Linux/UNIX standard directories. We'll also use the Linux/Unix commands: cd, mkdir, ls, cp, mv,chmod, chown, and sudo. You don't need to learn about them unless you change the steps or directories used in this document.
- Apple Xcode that provides the tools needed to generate everything else
- Prerequisite packages that FreeSWITCH™ needs to function
- FreeSWITCH™ itself
Simply Follow the steps below to perform a manual installation. There's extra information for people who want it. If you're not very technical don't let the explanations intimidate you. It takes about two hours to have the sample FreeSWITCH™ configuration running on macOS.
Terminal Application Preferences
The Terminal application is used extensively during installation. The following changes are highly recommended:
- Copy Terminal in the Applications/Utilities folder into the Dock for quick access.
- Start the Terminal application by clicking it in the dock. Then open its preferences panel.
- In Settings–>Profiles–>Window change the Window Size to larger values such as 140x48 to reduce having to resize the window often.
macOS Developer Tools
The macOS Developer Tools are composed of two parts, the Xcode macOS Software Developer Kit used to develop and test macOS GUI applications, and the Command Line Tools that provide LLVM, Clang, Git and other tools required to generate non-GUI applications such as FreeSWITCH™ and its prerequisites. The Command Line Tools are included with Xcode. The Apple Developer site offers the standalone CLT but it cannot be used because Homebrew will not install without the Xcode/CLT version.
Download Xcode
Xcode takes a while to download and is placed into the Applications folder (/Applications directory) with the Command Line Tools in /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer.
Sierra 10.12: install Xcode 8 using the macOS App Store application then start Xcode.
These Xcode Downloads require you to sign in with your Apple ID and agree to the Software Agreement:
El Capitan 10.11: download and install Xcode 7.3.1 from Xcode 7.3.1 Download then start Xcode. NOTE: Xcode 8 CANNOT be used. See FS-9521.
Yosemite 10.10: download and install Xcode 7.2.1 from Xcode 7.2.1 Download then start Xcode. Perform Rename Xcode Directory (As of Xcode 7.1).
Complete Xcode Installation
Important: To complete installation of Xcode it must be started once to accept the license agreement and install the final components.
Installation Directories
Show Invisible Files and Directories in the Finder
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES killall Finder
Directories Overview and Security
macOS provides the /usr directory which contains the subdirectory local as /usr/local, this procedure will add the following subdirectories:
- FreeSWITCH™ source located in /usr/local/src
- FreeSWITCH™ runtime located in /usr/local/freeswitch
- FreeSWITCH™ prerequisite source and runtime files located in several additional directories.
These files are kept out of macOS supplied directories to allow easy removal of FreeSWITCH™ and its prerequisites.
The /usr/local directory is protected and cannot be removed. Any modification to /usr/local such as adding or removing subdirectories requires administrator authority. The new subdirectories can have their security changed so that non-administrators can modify them.
Create /usr/local Subdirectories
The /usr/local subdirectory is not supplied by OS X 10.10 Yosemite so it must be created by running the following commands in Terminal, sudo will prompt for the administrator password:
cd /usr sudo mkdir local # Create the /usr/local directory
The user name (owner) and group name of the /usr/local subdirectories created by this procedure must match the user and group FreeSWITCH™ will run under. This is typically the main user name of the Mac. This is accomplished by the chown command. Create the /usr/local/src directory and change the owner by running the following commands in Terminal, sudo will prompt for the administrator password:
cd /usr/local # Change to the /usr/local directory sudo mkdir freeswitch src # Create the FreeSWITCH™ runtime and source directories sudo chown -R `id -u`:`id -g`freeswitch src # Change the owner of the new directories to yours
You will access /usr/local often so it should be placed in the Finder "FAVORITES" sidebar for quick access. Navigate to the /usr/local folder in the Finder, then drag the local folder under "FAVORITES".
Extra info: Even though macOS did not contain the /usr/local directory, /usr/local/bin is defined at the end of the default macOS path. The path is viewed by running "echo $PATH" in Terminal. If you don't understand this, don't worry, it doesn't affect anything.
NEVER delete the local directory in /usr after it's created! It's very difficult to recreate, it must be restored from a backup. This is due to System Integrity Protection (aka rootless) security starting with OS X 10.11.
Prerequisite Installation Options
Additional programs are required to generate and run FreeSWITCH™. Most are installed using Homebrew, a package manager and its repository of products for macOS. Homebrew saves time since there is no need to locate packages and determine the version required for each macOS release. Homebrew's Git repository is maintained by volunteers.
Install Package Manager and Prerequisites
The Homebrew package manager and prerequisites install in approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
Install Homebrew
Homebrew installation is simple, the install command is found at the Homebrew home page and is listed below.
- Open Terminal if not already opened, paste and run the ruby command from any directory.
- Run the command "brew doctor" to verify homebrew works, this command could take a couple of minutes.
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" brew doctor
Install Required Homebrew Packages
The basic FreeSWITCH™ prerequisite packages are installed by running the following command (copy/paste) in Terminal from any directory:
brew install autoconf automake curl FreeSWITCH/homebrew-freeswitch/flite jpeg ldns libsndfile libtiff libtool lua openssl opus pcre pkg-config speex speexdsp sqlite yasm
Download FreeSWITCH™
macOS is now ready to download and install FreeSWITCH™.
Selecting a Version
There are two versions of FreeSWITCH™ to choose from: the current release version recommended for production systems, and master containing the latest fixes and features used during development. The current release version is recommended unless you need newer features or patches added since the current release of FreeSWITCH™. Additional Information is located at Source Options.
This documentation is tested with the master version to keep it as recent as possible and to provide feedback to the developers. If there are problems the developers may request that you install the master version for diagnosis.
Download Using Git Clone
Download FreeSWITCH™ by switching to the src directory and invoking one of the "git clone" commands below. The git command creates the freeswitch directory in src (/usr/local/src/freeswitch) and downloads the FreeSWITCH™ source files.
cd /usr/local/src git clone -b v1.6 https://stash.freeswitch.org/scm/fs/freeswitch.git # The current production release or git clone https://stash.freeswitch.org/scm/fs/freeswitch.git # The master/development release
Install FreeSWITCH™
Generate Installation and Configuration Files
This step creates installation files based on the operating system and installed packages. ./bootstrap.sh creates many files such as modules.conf used to add optional functionality to FreeSWITCH™, while ./configure sets compilation options. Enter the following commands (each will run several minutes):
cd freeswitch # <- the new freeswitch directory created by the git clone process ./bootstrap.sh ./configure
Add Text–To–Speech Module
Additional functionality may be required as your FreeSWITCH™ needs become more complex. Optional modules are used to add new functions to FreeSWITCH™ by editing the modules.conf file. The FLITE Text To Speech functionality is recommended for a new system since some of the sample tests require it. The easiest way to add the FLITE module is to paste and run the following line into Terminal:
perl -pi -e 's{#asr_tts/mod_flite}{asr_tts/mod_flite}' /usr/local/src/freeswitch/modules.conf
If you prefer to manually edit the modules.conf file use this procedure:
- Use the Finder to navigate to the /usr/local/src/freeswitch directory.
- Scroll to and double-click modules.conf in the freeswitch directory, the first time requires application selection, Textedit should be used.
- Search for "flite" and remove the # to uncomment.
- Save the file.
If this is your first FreeSWITCH™ don't add more than the FLITE module. Some modules may have prerequisites in addition to what is listed in this procedure.
Compile, Create Additional Source Directories and Check for Errors
This step compiles the programs and creates additional directories and files based on modules.conf. While still in /usr/local/src/freeswitch compile FreeSWITCH™ with the "make" command, it runs for several minutes:
If there are no errors proceed, otherwise seek assistance from the FreeSWITCH-users mailing list
Generate FreeSWITCH™ Runtime
This creates the /usr/local/freeswitch runtime library and executable programs.
make install
Download and Install Sounds
There are mandatory sound prompts and optional music on hold files. All must be downloaded to run the sample IVR. There are four versions available:
- sounds-install moh-install (8 kHz)
- hd-sounds-install hd-moh-install (16 kHz)
- uhd-sounds-install uhd-moh-install (32 kHz)
- cd-sounds-install cd-moh-install (48 kHz)
The cd sounds are recommended since all the sampling rates are provided resulting in fewer problems. Invoke the following command:
make cd-sounds-install cd-moh-install
This optional step can be performed to save space by removing the temporary files created by make:
make clean
Test FreeSWITCH™!
The time has come to start and test FreeSWITCH™ using the macOS Testing and Diagnostics instructions.
Updating FreeSWITCH™
FreeSWITCH™ may occasionally require updating due to new features, fixes, etc. To download the latest updates, compile FreeSWITCH™ and create updated runtime binaries, run the following two commands:
cd /usr/local/src/freeswitch git pull && make current
Updating Prerequisites
To update Homebrew and its formulas run "brew update" in Terminal, this should be run prior to upgrading packages. To upgrade all packages, run "brew upgrade", or to upgrade a single package run "brew upgrade package-name" command.
Removing FreeSWITCH™
Consider backing up modified or new configuration files you created! FreeSWITCH™ is completely removed by deleting the /usr/local/freeswitch and /usr/local/src/freeswitch directories using the Finder (drag to trash) or in Terminal:
rm -r /usr/local/freeswitch rm -r /usr/local/src/freeswitch
Remove Homebrew and Prerequisites
Packages installed by Homebrew are listed using the "brew list" command. They are removed using the "brew uninstall package-name" command. To remove packages and Homebrew run the following in Terminal:
rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar /usr/local/.git && brew cleanup sudo rm -r /Library/Caches/Homebrew # (macOS prompts for the administrator password)
Remove Xcode
Xcode is installed as an macOS package (directory) that looks like a single application file. To remove Xcode drag the application to the trash, empty it and restart macOS.
Remove Everything Else
If the /usr/local directory existed prior to using this procedure it has to be examined to determine if the contents are deletable. If the instructions on this page were followed, and the /usr/local directory was created during this procedure, everything can be removed to roll back the system prior to using this procedure by performing these steps:
- Drag everything in the /usr/local directory to the trash. Or delete it in Terminal (macOS prompts for the administrator password):

WWMD: What Will Microsoft Do?
Well, I can tell you what Microsoft might do if it ever got Yahoo to stop snubbing its efforts to acquire the troubled Internet portal.
According to numerous sources familiar with Microsoft's thinking whom I have been talking to this past week, quite a lot–from creating a single search index to forming one common ad platform to running the place with longtime Microsoft execs at the helm.
So let's just ignore for now the latest wrinkle in this obviously dysfunctional relationship between Yahoo and Microsoft–which is beginning to remind me of that bizarre Charlie Brown, Lucy Van Pelt and football situation.
That's because once again (and, as it has apparently done over the last year secretly, until Microsoft finally went hostile 10 days ago), Yahoo's board is expected to deliver another no-thank-you-very-much-for-now in answer to Microsoft's latest bid–this time a $31-per-share offer.
Fine, fine. We all know this is going to grind forward agonizingly, as investment bankers parry and various scenarios are bandied about (including here in excess, we can assure you!).
And, of course, there will be possible other merger partners leaked. On today's menu: AOL! Having written two books about the even-more-troubled-than-Yahoo Internet outfit, here is my official response: Yuck.
Thus, to be more helpful, it might be better to focus on some things that might happen if the software giant ever got the keys to Yahoo.
Let's be clear–nothing has been formally decided by Microsoft brass as yet, but there are some interesting ideas to be found in the planning they did before they prepared the offer, which can give one an outline of their plan if they won.
It's important to think about, because exactly what Microsoft would do to Yahoo is probably something that Yahoo's board, executives, employees and others would probably like to get a sense of as it considers what it should do.
First, we already know Microsoft will keep the Yahoo brand name, per public declarations by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. This is kind of a no-brainer, especially when it is compared to the lackluster MSN. (Historical footnote: The code name for MSN was Marvel, which was a much better moniker still!)
Most sources familiar with Microsoft's thinking could not agree more. One noted that Yahoo was clearly the best brand, but said Microsoft would likely remain "open-minded about what happens to the rest of the MSN-branded names." Expect Window Live products to have the best chance of survival.
Also on the PowerPoint slides, which Microsoft execs have only vaguely referred to as cost savings, is the consolidation of the search indexes and technology of Yahoo and Microsoft into one product. Signs lean toward Microsoft here, as some of its execs have even publicly insulted Yahoo's efforts in this arena.
Frankly, neither should be bragging much, given how badly they both lag behind Google, but Microsoft is better equipped from an engineering and power programming point of view to dominate here.
That also goes for the consolidating of the ad platforms, both for search and display. Even though Yahoo dominates the display market, Microsoft considers its recent acquisition of aQuantive to be the driver of this arena, rather than Yahoo's technology and new purchases like BlueLithium and Right Media.
In both the ad and search efforts, sources said that Microsoft would split engineers between those who work on improving and running the core existing products and another group who will be focused on pushing to incorporate new innovation.
That would include trying to figure out a recent project Yahoo is currently undergoing, which inside sources call a "lugubrious" overhaul of the technology related to its display business. It's comparable to its ill-fated Panama search-ad fix, a multiyear project Microsoft would probably be inclined to want to make sure is staffed by its own execs.
In that regard, if Microsoft ever prevails, Yahoo better be prepared to meet the parents.
They will be running the Yahoo show and would include Microsoft execs, pictured here, such as:
Brian McAndrews, former aQuantive CEO and now Microsoft's SVP of its Advertiser Publisher Solutions Group, who is a rising star and would surely play a key role in all ad efforts and coordination.
Satya Nadella, corporate vice president of its Search and Advertising Platform Group, the engineering head whom BoomTown will now dub, "Mr. Search and Destroy," because he would likely lead all efforts to use Yahoo's assets to catch Google. (Good luck with that one, Satya!)
Yusuf Mehdi, SVP of Strategic Partnerships, who has been in and out of the MSN businesses many times and is one of Microsoft's better-known Internet execs outside the company, and who has played an important role in this bid.
And, of course, Kevin Johnson, president of Platforms and Services Division, who runs quite a swath of the company. Besides Ballmer, he is probably the most important player in this effort to turbocharge Microsoft with Yahoo power.
That is, except for Hank Vigil, SVP of Strategy and Partnership, who has worked closely with Ballmer on this deal and also big moves like the recent $240 million Facebook investment. Vigil is not high-profile in any way, but he feels a lot like Zelig in his clearly important presence in a lot of Microsoft's more bold initiatives.
One major Web exec who will not be part of the hunting party is Steve Berkowitz, SVP of the Online Services Group, who is finally on the way out, as has been long rumored. Sources said his change of status as a major Web player at Microsoft has been communicated to many top execs at the company last week. But it is not clear whether the former Ask.com CEO will leave Microsoft or get another job at the company.
In fact, many a Microsoft Web exec has mysteriously disappeared into the bowels of the company, never to be seen again, so Yahoo execs: Beware!

The US Federal Trade Commission has carried out a huge international crackdown on a number of "tech support" scams being run out of India which have conned people in the UK, US, Canada and elsewhere out of millions of pounds since 2008.
As explained by the Guardian in 2010, the scams used "boiler room" tactics, dialling through phone books for English-speaking countries. People who answered the phone were told the call came from Microsoft or their internet service provider, and that the person's computer was "reporting viruses". The caller would then perform an unnecessary "fix" on the computer and charge the person for it – and sometimes sign them up to multi-year "support" contracts. The cost could run to hundreds of pounds.
People in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand were targeted because they, like the people carrying out the scam, are English-speaking. The Guardian understands that the scam was worth millions of pounds a year to the organised gangs carrying it out.
At the FTC's request in six cases, a federal district judge froze the US assets of 17 people and 14 companies that have been accused of taking part in the operations. The FTC has also shut down 80 internet domain names and 130 phone numbers used in the US to carry out the scams.
The FTC is seeking an end to the scams, and repayments for people who were conned out of money.
Though the FTC said it could not put a figure on how many people had been scammed, or how much they had lost, Microsoft – which has been working with the commission for the past two years to try to catch the criminals – provided data on more than a thousand people who had been scammed, whose losses averaged $875 each.
Microsoft has repeatedly pointed out that it would not call people about any problems with their computers. In some cases, the scammers would try to sell antivirus software from reputable companies, and in some cases would install new copies of Windows on a machine. However the licence key used on the software allowed Microsoft to trace it back to its buyer, which aided the investigation.
The fraud occurred in several English-speaking countries. Joining the FTC in the enforcement action were the Australian Communications and Media Authority, the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission and the UK's Serious Organised Crime Agency. David Vladeck, director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection, said it was working with law enforcement officials in India to catch the alleged perpetrators. The commission has also referred the cases to the US justice department for possible criminal prosecution.
The companies whose assets have been frozen are: Pecon Software; PC Care247; Connexxions Infotech; Connexxions IT Services Private Ltd; Zeal IT Solutions; Lakshmi Infosoul Services Private Ltd; Virtual PC Solutions, First PC Solution; Direct PC Solution; Virtual IT Supports; Global Innovative Service; 24x7pchelp; 24x7pctech; Transfront Solutions; New World Services; Megabites Solutions; Mega Bits; Greybytes Cybertech; Bluesystemcare; Shine Solutions Private Ltd. The FTC has also named 17 people who were singly or together directors of the accused companies.
The companies involved had US locations which were used to funnel money back to India. Some also have UK offices. However the FTC asserts that the companies used "virtual" offices which were in fact just mail-forwarding facilities. The scam also used voice-over-internet phone lines to make them appear to be calling from inside the country being targeted, when in fact the caller was in India.
The Guardian's own investigations have found that one gang was using locations and accounts in Canada to transfer money from the scams back to India.
The defendants have been charged with violating the FTC Act, which bars "unfair and deceptive" commercial practices, breaching the Telemarketing Sales Rule and illegally calling numbers that are on the National Do Not Call Registry.
The scheme involved getting a computer user to look at a program called "Event Viewer" that is a standard part of the Windows operating system. That displays logs of events occurring on the computer, sometimes with the label "Warning" or "Error" – but which in fact have no significance to the smooth running of the computer. The caller would then say that these were due to "viruses", that they had been alerted to them remotely, and that they could fix them. They then would use a remote login program to appear to "fix" the computer.
"Clearly the defendant's [modus operandi] was to exploit these fears about malware hiding in the machine," said the FTC chairman, Jon Leibowitz. "These scams fleeced English-speaking consumers worldwide likely to the tune of tens of millions of dollars and resulted in innumerable Do Not Call violations in the US."

On June 10, 1963, President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act into law, stating that the Act's purpose was to "prohibit arbitrary discrimination against women in the payment of wages" and "call attention to the unconscionable practice of paying female employees less wages than male employees for the same job."
In the half-century since President Kennedy uttered those words, they still have disturbing relevance. We have made some progress toward the goal of equal pay, but not nearly enough.
There's no question that there is greater acceptance of women in the workforce than there once was. Women now make up a much larger percentage of the workforce – nearly half of all workers today are women, compared with less than a third in the early '60s. And as the New York Times recently reported, the percentage of women who are the primary breadwinner in their family is on the rise. Today, wives earn more than their husbands in about 25% of all couples, compared to just 6% in 1960.
And yet despite these changes, the wage gap remains. In 1963, women earned about 59 cents on the dollar compared to men. Today, women still make significantly less than men – about 77 cents on the dollar. That means that over the course of a year, a woman will bring home thousands of dollars less than her male co-worker. And the wage gap is even greater for minority women, who are already more likely to live below the poverty line. African-American women earn about 64 cents on the dollar compared with white men, and Hispanic women earn only 54 cents on the dollar. Although there's much debate about the causes of the persistent wage gap, a number of studies have found a significant wage gap even after controlling for factors like work experience and family responsibilities.
The Paycheck Fairness Act, a bill currently under consideration by Congress, aims to finally fulfill the promise of President Kennedy's words from 1963. The Act would strengthen the Equal Pay Act by providing stronger remedies including compensatory and punitive damages, permitting EPA claims to be brought as class actions, and prohibiting employers from retaliating against workers for sharing information about their wages. The Paycheck Fairness Act is necessary if we are ever to end the "unconscionable practice" of paying less than equal pay for equal work. Because, as President Obama said this past Monday, "When more women are bringing home the bacon, they shouldn't just be getting a little bit of bacon."

In the Land of the Kiwis
As you stand on the 16th tee of the Kauri Cliffs Golf Club in New Zealand, you know in your bones this is why you came. This is why you planned so precisely, packed so excitedly and traveled so determinedly. You are suspended above the Pacific like a loge box at La Scala, the dramatic seascape of New Zealand filling the eye with grandeur and the mind with wonder. No matter that it took 24 hours, two planes and a helicopter to get here. It was worth every mile and every hour. There's something about hitting a golf shot framed by a rainbow that does amazing things for the psyche.
If you want your golf to be more than a stroll through a meadow, a walk through a forest or a meander along a beach, then you seek out its grand stages. For decades the Pebble Beach Golf Links defined golf as a dramatic adventure, a melding of sport and spirit. More recently the Old Head Golf Links in Ireland, thrust into the Atlantic Ocean on a giant rock table, stirred the wanderlust of golfers. There is Bandon Dunes in Oregon and Turnberry in Scotland. Now there is New Zealand.
New Zealand is the land of a furry fruit, a flightless bird and a formidable population all known as kiwi. It is a country of fiercely proud Maori natives and dauntless settlers from the Old World. It's got sheep, millions of them. It's got grapes, tons of them. It's got sailboats, thousands of them.
And now New Zealand has two of the world's most dramatic golf courses, two of its sensational grand stages: Kauri Cliffs and Cape Kidnappers. "This has got to be one of the great golf destinations in the world," says Jimmy Dunne, the managing partner of a New York investment company and a dedicated worldwide player. "These are wonderful places to play. You have great holes, great views and a really great country. I don't think it gets any better than this."
Kauri Cliffs and Cape Kidnappers are on the North Island of New Zealand, a few hours drive from Auckland, the country's largest city and port of entry for nearly everyone coming from around the globe. Kauri Cliffs is to the north, in an area known as the Bay of Islands. Cape Kidnappers is to the south in the Hawke's Bay wine region. These two great stages of the game have been created by two Americans, Julian Robertson, and his wife, Josie. The courses grew out of the couple's wellspring of love for the country that they first visited in 1978.
"We have a great affection for the people and the land," says Julian Robertson. "It was a very special time in our life, that first trip. And it's a big part of our life now."
Kauri Cliffs and Cape Kidnappers are magnificent courses and monumental achievements, built with the resources of a man with a huge portfolio of achievement. Robertson is a pioneer of the world hedge fund market. After he returned from his first trip to New Zealand, he established the Tiger Fund. Now closed, the fund once had $22 billion under management.
Robertson has been called a visionary and dubbed an egomaniac, a man who cut a giant swath through the financial markets for more than a decade. Along the way he acquired the means to fulfill passions for music, art and golf.
"In 1995, a friend called, a very didactic guy," says Robertson, with an undiminished North Carolina drawl. "He said 'Julian, I think the world is coming to an end. I've got a guy looking for property for me in New Zealand.' I said I didn't think the world was coming to an end, but I'm a big fan of New Zealand. I said if this guy finds something that you don't want, I'd love to know about it. So this guy finds him a place, then he calls me with this place, Kauri Cliffs, which was just a sheep farm."
Kauri Cliffs was just a sheep farm in the way that the Grand Canyon was just a river gorge. The property was 4,000 acres on cliffs above the Pacific with its own beaches and one of the few remaining ancient Kauri trees in the country. So in 1995, Robertson returned to New Zealand to look at a sheep farm, and the moment he saw it he knew he had to buy it. Later he would purchase an additional 2,500 acres. "It was overwhelmingly beautiful and I felt I had to do something with it," says Robertson. "We decided to build a golf course. My wife was overcome with it and said we had to build a lodge. We keep finding wonderful things about the property as we go along. It has been a great family undertaking."
Robertson describes the amount he paid for the Kauri Cliffs property as "the price of a modest New York apartment," a description he also attaches to the 6,000-acre Cape Kidnappers property he acquired in 2001. "Golf seemed the logical step," says Robertson. "The land is just so good, so dramatic, that you pretty much are guaranteed a special place if you don't screw it up. What we've been able to do, if I can modestly say, is something that is really great."
Instead of going after a big-name architect, a Jack Nicklaus or a Tom Fazio or a Pete Dye, Robertson gave the job of designing Kauri Cliffs to the late Dave Harman, a Floridian with a long line of experience in building golf courses and shaping them. With land so bold, with the sea so inviting, Harman routed a course that takes advantage of its extraordinary natural setting. There are 15 holes that have a view of the ocean and six that play along the cliff lines. The first three holes overlook the vast grazing grounds for sheep. Holes 10 through 12 play along a marshy glen out of view of the sea, creating a certain sense of anticipation that you will return to the water's edge, which is fulfilled upon arrival at the 14th tee. The 14th through 17th holes pitch and yaw along the cliff lines and the 18th climbs precipitously back to the clubhouse. "This is such a huge property, and Dave's first design for it would require you a 747 to play, it was so spread out," says Robertson. "To his credit, he turned it into a golf course that you can walk if you choose to do so."
The clubhouse at Kauri Cliffs is an approximation of a Bahamian colonial plantation house that Robertson saw in a magazine, given an appropriate makeover into the New Zealand vernacular with local crafts and materials. The clubhouse and the cottage-style rooms at Kauri Cliffs came under Josie Robertson's tasteful eye. The clubhouse has a hominess to it, with comfortable furniture, abundant fireplaces and view upon view of the course and the sea. The large and extremely comfy rooms are set in buildings that appear to be bungalows. There are fireplaces, an enormous bathroom done in a quite contemporary style, and a huge walk-in closet. Flip on the switch for the fireplace, wrap yourself in a robe and listen to nothing but the birds and the wind. Kauri Cliffs is nothing if not splendid isolation, with room service.
"My wife worked with interior designer Virginia Fisher," says Robertson. "Josie would rather give Virginia all the credit. But in the real world she had tremendous input."
In January 2004, Champions Tour player Dave Stockton visited Kauri Cliffs along with former British Open winner and New Zealander Bob Charles. Stockton, twice the winner of the PGA Championship, is a dedicated outdoorsman, a fisherman and a hunter. "It's a really remarkable place," says Stockton. "You have golf, fishing and hunting in one spectacular place. It's a long way to go to do it, but I would say it's definitely worth it."
That the Robertsons would have even one such beckoning property in New Zealand is an achievement. But with Cape Kidnappers opening last year, they have doubled the dramatic quotient for golf in a country that, surprisingly, has more golf courses per capita—about one for every 9,330 golfers—than any other place in the world.
The Cape Kidnappers property, another working farm with sheep and cattle, is also of great historic importance to New Zealand and its native Maori population. A seamount that sits just offshore appears as a giant tooth. In Maori legend, it is known as the Tooth of Maui. Maui, son of Rangi, the sky father, and Papa, the earth mother, used the tooth to catch a giant fish that, when it reached the surface, became the North Island of New Zealand. On a beach, a ledge and the cliff top nearest the Tooth of Maui are the world's most accessible gannet colonies.
For the Cape Kidnappers property, Robertson brought in the twenty-first century's hottest and often most controversial architect, Tom Doak. Robertson hired Doak after visiting the Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in coastal Oregon. "On our first trip there with my sons and friends, we wanted to play 36 holes one day at the Bandon Dunes course and they told us we couldn't," says Robertson. "They said we had to play this second 18 at Pacific Dunes [designed by Doak]. We were furious that we had to play it. When we finished, we thought it was the best course we had ever played. That's why we got Tom Doak."
Doak found himself overwhelmed by the property with its cliffs 500 feet above the grand sweep of Hawke's Bay, named by the intrepid English explorer Captain James Cook. It was Cook who named the land Cape Kidnappers after Maori natives attempted to kidnap a servant. Cook's journeys throughout the Pacific were extraordinary and Doak sees the creation of the Cape Kidnappers Golf Club as no less so. "If Cape Kidnappers were a book, it would be an epic," he says.
The golf course is approached by a 15-minute drive through the property along a trout stream, through an alpine area and atop a ridge with mountain views. The clubhouse doesn't appear to be one at all, and could be mistaken for the maintenance building. It's done in a wool shed style with dark gray corrugated metal siding. Inside there are small locker rooms, a pro shop and a great room. It's both comfortable and appropriate. The bar stools are made to suggest old farm tractor seats. The clubhouse is part of the Robertsons' commitment not to do anything that would taint the land or fly in the face of the culture. "This is such a magnificent country that if we were going to do something here, we wanted to do the very best we could," says Robertson.
Doak designed a golf course that comes in two parts. The first is the farmland nine, playing mostly away from the sea and into a working area of the farm. Behind the second green sits a complex of red farm buildings. It's not until the 10th hole that Doak takes a player to the end of the earth, almost literally. The 10th, 12th, 13th and 15th holes have greens suspended above the bay, atop those 500-foot cliffs. Bandon Dunes owner Mike Keiser, who played both Robertson courses last December, calls Cape Kidnappers "an aerie for golfers."
The 15th hole is a straightaway par 5 that runs out to the edge of a cliff, the fairway seemingly no wider than an aircraft carrier. The 16th hole is a short par 5 in the opposite direction; it's a par 5 because Josie Robertson wanted all players to experience the view from what was the back tee of the par 4 that Doak designed originally. "My wife thought it was a shame that only good players got back to that tee to see that view," says Robertson. "By making it a short par 5, it meant that all players could go back there and be right out there on the cliff. That was a wonderful thing to do."
A lodge for on-site accommodations is in the works for Cape Kidnappers, but there are several lovely B & B properties in the Hawke's Bay area. There are spots in Hawke's Bay, with its many vineyards and orchards, where visions of Sonoma County, California, come to mind. The Robertsons have an interest in the Te Awa Winery, which produces a wide range of wines, including a Chardonnay, and a lovely Merlot. The city of Napier, where the airport is located, is a small Art Deco—style town. The city and the surrounding wineries have an abundance of good restaurants, and after a morning round of golf at Cape Kidnappers, lunch at Te Awa and dinner at the Craggy Range Winery would complete a fulfilling day.
The Robertsons have worked diligently to respect the native culture and conscience of New Zealand. "We don't want to impose ourselves," says Robertson. "We are caretakers here and we know how fortunate we are to have it."
New Zealander Michael Campbell (see sidebar, page 106), the surprise winner of the U.S. Open at Pinehurst last June, represents Kauri Cliffs for the Robertsons. "I think what [Julian Robertson's] done for New Zealand golf has been phenomenal," says Campbell. "When I heard about this Kauri Cliffs, somebody told me I had to go see it. I was totally in awe. I didn't meet Julian that first time. I went back two months later and that's when I met him and we got a relationship done. What he's done is to really expose the world to New Zealand golf with these two fantastic golf courses. It takes money and financing; he's been able to do that. It's been great that he's been able to do that in my country."
New Zealand is almost 9,000 miles from the East Coast of the United States. It take 20 hours in the air, and a full 24 hours door-to-door to get there. But if you are in search of the game's highest drama, then Cape Kidnappers and Kauri Cliffs give Oscar-winning performances. Get your ticket.

Going Parallel: Part 1: Doing two things at once - impossible!
Maybe it's just me, but I have to confess I'm no good at doing more than one thing at once. For example, I'm at the breakfast table reading the paper and eating, suddenly my wife comments "did you hear that? ...". Usually I haven't. My typical reply is "no - I was reading the paper".I belong to that part of humanity that cannot multitask. I sometimes muse on stories of how an aunt of mine could read a book, watch the TV and do her knitting all at the same time. If only our software was like my aunt! If only I was like my aunt I hear my wife saying!
There is nothing wrong with doing one task and doing it well, and there is plenty of software out there that does exactly that. There are also, however, many opportunities for making software faster by going parallel.
The challenge for developers is how to start thinking parallel. In the next few blogs I plan to go through a few anecdotal stories along with some practical steps of how one can leap into the parallel paradigm.

So about a week ago I was reading a book on my Kindle when suddenly it disappeared. Not the Kindle, the book. The screen went blank, the Kindle restarted, and when restart was complete, the home page informed me that I had zero items on the machine and zero archived items. I set it aside and came back a few minutes later, and now, it seemed, I had many archived items but none on the Kindle. I tried downloading one of my archived books, but after five or six minutes the "your book is downloading" message (which usually stays on screen for about ten seconds) was still there. An hour or two later I looked again, and my books had returned.
This has since happened twice more, both times when I was seriously engaged in what I was reading. A disconcerting experience. Because I dropped this Kindle the first time I touched it and slightly damaged one corner — a sad tale I told on this blog — I doubt that Amazon will give me a replacement. But I will ask, and report what I learn.
On another front, my emancipation from the clutches of Google remains incomplete. Gmail is gone, replaced by Fastmail, and that's working out well, with the minor quibble that Fastmail's spam filter is not as good as Gmail's — a few items of spam are getting through and there have been some false positives as well. When I used Gmail I just didn't think about spam.
Also, for a long time now my wife and son and I have been coordinating our calendars using Google Calendar, so I don't think I can change that anytime soon. I also miss Google Reader: Bloglines updates slowly and inconsistently, though the new beta site looks very nice, and that's the only real option for syncing my RSS feeds on my iPhone. But since I don't read RSS feeds on my iPhone very often, I think I'll stick with a desktop RSS reader, either the full-featured NetNewsWire — with which I have a long history — or the beautiful NewsFire.
These are slight annoyances, but, simply put, I don't trust Google to use my data appropriately, so I can put up with them.

The X5v is very cheap but that doesn't mean it's poorly specified. It's easy to set up, connects to your PC via USB and comes with Global Village which is free to use when calling other VoIP users and there's no subscription.
The one area that the X5v suffers in is the quality of voice calls. Like Skype, it can fluctuate when you're uploading and downloading files and the lack of a bandwidth reservation feature is immediately evident.
Still, the price is highly attractive and it's a solid performer when it comes to broadband duties, uniquely including helpful instructions for setting up for online gaming with your PC, Xbox or PS2. Mike Abolins

Edgar Allen Poe describes the flaneur as a man amid the masses, absorbed by the city around him. Charles Baudelaire celebrates the flaneur's ability to retain his anonymity in urban space and stay an individualist. For his part, Walter Benjamin liberates the flaneur from the widely-cited tortoise metaphor, a being linked only to posing and attitude, characterizing him instead as the "central figure of the modern era", a highly sensitive soul capable of deciphering the city, wandering the streets, and viewing the urban surroundings with the same mixture of attraction and repellence with which he himself is also seen. An archetype key to the literature of the last two centuries, the flaneur has also echoed through film history since the 1920s in a variety of different forms. In July, the Magical History Tour presents the first generation of city wanderers and those that followed them both before the camera and behind it, expanding the concept to encompass its female equivalent and bringing together ambling documentary and essayistic works – meandering strolls through urban spaces, decelerated observations and conquests of urban structures, explorations of the streets and the crowds that populate them, and reflections on the conditions of modern existence.
LA NOTTE (Michelangelo Antonioni, Italy/France 1961, 1. & 7.7.) An elevator glides down the facade of a building, opaque windows on one side, a modern cityscape replete with building sites opening out on the other, a vista into which the film descends centimeter by centimeter from the very beginning. Antonioni creates a precise topography of the space between barrenness and insane construction that is framed in clear, razor-sharp black and white images in which the marriage of Giovanni (Marcello Mastroianni) and Lidia (Jeanne Moreau) seems to be dissolving. As she wanders through run-down courtyards and dusty abandoned lots, Lidia traverses not just a city entirely hollow behind its shining facades but also the various dark recesses of her own life.
SHIVREI TMUNOT JERUSHALAIM (Fragments*Jerusalem, Ron Havilio, Israel 1986–1997, 1.7.: Part 1; 8.7.: Part 2) Private footage and historical photos, recollections of family members and official archive material, city planning, social historical, religious, and ethnic considerations come together to form an artistic mosaic of a city, an era, a life, and a family. Havilio's magnum opus is six hours long, divided into seven chapters, and took 11 years of work to be completed - Havilio thus moves beyond the concept of the flaneur to become a wanderer through space and time.
MNJE DWADZAT LJET (I Am Twenty, Marlen Khutsiev, USSR 1962/65, 2. & 6.7.) A milestone in Soviet film, a key work of Thaw-Era cinema, and, last, but not least, a unique historical document of the city of Moscow and its young inhabitants. At the heart of the film are Sergei, Nikolai und Slava (each 20 years old and friends since childhood), all of whom are looking for meaning and self-determination as well as to grapple with the generation of their parents. Khutsiev creates a vision of Moscow seldom seen, alternating between the poetic, the romantic, the dynamic and the immediate, showing a young generation who only by wandering the city can take possession of both it and their own lives.
BERLIN. DIE SINFONIE DER GROSSSTADT (Berlin: Symphony of a Metropolis, Walther Ruttmann, Germany 1927, 3.7., with a live piano accompaniment by Eunice Martins & 23.7., with the original music by Edmund Meisel) In this classic of the city symphony genre, Ruttmann illuminates the flaneur's living environment in emblematic fashion: the shimmering metropolis of Berlin in the mid-20s. As the tempo shifts back and forth between frenzy and calm, the footage of city life, street canyons, trains, streets, crowds, machines, illuminated advertising billboards, and evening entertainments merge together into a visual rhythm, a pulsating flow of images.
BILDNIS EINER TRINKERIN (Ulrike Ottinger, West Germany 1979, 3. & 15.7.) Following a urgent impulse to forget the past, "She" (Tabea Blumenschein) – a mixture of Medea, Madonna, Beatrice, Iphigenia, and Aspasia – buys a one-way ticket to Berlin in order to drink herself to death on a grotesque foray through the pubs, hotels, casinos, and bars of West Berlin. Alienated and unapproachable, she becomes immersed in a stylized late-70s version of the city, meeting protagonists from the island underground during her nocturnal wanderings: drinkers, rock singers (including a spectacular Nina Hagen), writers, artists, taxi drivers. A melodrama.
BEFORE SUNSET (Richard Linklater, USA 2004, 4. & 9.7.) Ten years after their first brief meeting in Vienna, Céline (Julie Delpy) and Jesse (Ethan Hawke) cross paths again, as Jesse, now a writer, has come to Paris on a book tour. Once again, their few shared hours are used for long walks through the city and lengthy conversations about the big themes in life. Following Linklater's Before Sunrise (1994), Paris lends this sequel an air of melancholy and an awareness of how all happiness is fleeting.
MENSCHEN AM SONNTAG (Robert Siodmak, Rochus Gliese, Edgar G. Ulmer, Germany 1930, 5. & 15.7., with a live piano accompaniment by Eunice Martins) A precise description – a type of "reality film" inspired by the New Objectivity – one weekend in the life of five young Berliners – four bustling wanderers of Berlin and Wannsee and one homebody. This light, playful collage begins with documentary footage and improvised leisure, missed chances and random meetings, before the second part of the film shifts to the summer retreat of Wannsee. The highly agile, almost "flaneur-like" camerawork (Eugen Schüfftan) oscillates between the near and the far, sympathy and irony, details and crowds.
CLÉO DE 5 À 7 (Cleo from 5 to 7, Agnès Varda, France/Italy 1962, 16. & 29.7.) 90 minutes of Paris in real time, 90 minutes in which the titular Cléo (a chanteuse, charmeuse, and flaneuse in one: Corinne Marchand) restlessly wanders the French capital, sitting in cafés, looking for a hat shop, meeting her lover, attending a rehearsal with her band, going to the cinema, and meeting a potential new love. All this to pass the time until she receives the result of her cancer screening. 90 minutes not characterized by drama or trying to overcome one's fate, but which simply communicate the sense of being in the city, the experience of time and one's own person.
ALICE IN DEN STÄDTEN (Alice in the Cities, Wim Wenders, West Germany 1974, 22. & 25.7.) A set of movements through the US and the Ruhr region, research and search in one: German journalist Philip Winter (Rüdiger Vogler) has been commissioned to make a travel report about the American (city) landscape and is both failing at the task and beginning to lose himself in the process, until his travels suddenly morph into a search for clues in the German provinces for the grandmother of nine-year-old Alice, who is entrusted to his care in New York. The former setting is all great expanses devoid of people, services areas, urban canyons and neon sights, all symbols of alienation and absence, while the latter is a cross-section of West Germany, sometimes uniform, sometimes labyrinthine, sometimes narrow-minded and bourgeois, sometimes full of summer freedom. The poetic story of the return of two uprooted, initially indifferent wanderers is at the same time a meditation about looking and perceiving, a small lesson in being a flaneur.
NEWS FROM HOME (Chantal Akerman, Belgium/France/West Germany 1976, 23. & 28.7.) The lines along which streets extend and scenes filmed on them by night and day, subway stations and rides, pans across facades or skylines: In long, meticulously framed shots of 70s New York and a soundtrack made up of city noise and Akerman's voice reading out her mother's letters, who is still at home in Belgium, the director measures out the city which she lived in for several years in the 70s. A distanced, restless look at a foreign city merges with the mother's concerned, even distressed tone into a meditation about sound and image, urban alienation and family structures.
CENTRAL PARK (Frederick Wiseman, USA 1989, 24. & 26.7.) Summer in New York: In a comparatively light, cheerful tone, Wiseman creates a portrait of Central Park as an inviting location of urban vitality. With seeming casualness, he describes the broad spectrum of big city park users, shows people looking for recuperation, Sunday painters, dance groups, hobby ornithologists and dinosaur imitators, musicians and dancers, as well as gardeners and the park's administrative staff. An homage to the green heart of the city, simultaneously a center of attraction for classic flaneurs as well as the starting point for another flaneur of the cinematic variety.
LE FRANC (Djibril Diop Mambéty, Senegal 1994, 27. & 31.7.) & LA PETITE VENDEUSE DE SOLEIL (Djibril Diop Mambéty, Senegal 1999, 27. & 31.7.) The films of Djibril Diop Mambéty are irrevocably linked to Dakar, the Senegalese capital, through which the protagonists of his films move like restless wanderers. Mambéty's camera is usually close on their heels, occasionally stepping to the side to show scenes from everyday life in the city and the peculiarities of urban space. In LA PETITE VENDEUSE..., Sili attempts to ignore her reservations and hold her own as a newspaper salesperson. In LE FRANC, Marigo has won the lottery, but can only pick up his prize if he carries the door to his house through half of Dakar, as the lottery ticket is stuck to it. Sili and Marigo's roamings through Dakar are embedded in a complex web of small vignettes, scenes, and secondary plots threads that don't just leave their mark on the rhythm of the film, but also allow the viewer to grasp Dakar.

Two bullets for Uka Uka
Monday August 24th 2009, Author: Justin Chisholm, Location: United KingdomWeather conditions for championship sportsboat racing don't come much better than those experienced by the eighty-six Melges 24 crews racing on day one of their 2009 European Championship in Hyeres, France. With temperatures in the high 30s and winds touching 18 knots at times, the high quality Euro fleet were able to complete the first two races of their 12 race series.
Race one saw the fleet get away at the first time of asking, but in race two things were more problematic. After an initial General Recall the Race Committee posted flags I and Z for their second attempt to start the race. This appeared not to dampen the fleet's enthusiasm however and a subsequent second General Recall provoked the reluctant use of the Black Flag. For most this was a big enough deterrent and race two finally got under way. The Melges 24 was specifically designed to excel in exactly these sort of conditions and in both races the sailors and indeed the spectators were treated to some wonderful downwind action.
Lorenzo Santini's UKA UKA Racing from Italy demonstrated why they are the current Melges 24 World Champions by taking comprehensive victories in each of today's races. In the process they also sent a clear message to the fleet that they mean business this week in Hyeres. The stories behind both their victories are ominously similar; leading from the off in both races they rounded the windward mark in the lead and proceeded to extend their advantage on every leg. Back on the dock tactician Branko Brein was quick to praise UKA UKA helmsman, Lorenzo Bressani. "Conditions were tactically tricky at times today but sailing with a driver as good as Lorenzo makes a tactician's life easy," he smiled. Asked how they had managed to get such good starts today, Branko said that they had started towards the middle of the line on both occasions, before immediately heading out to the left of the racecourse. "There is a peculiarity of the bay in Hyeres that causes a bend in the wind favouring the boats furthest left. Obviously we wanted to take maximum advantage of this."
It was a good day for Italy overall, with several of UKA UKA's fellow countrymen also posting consistent scores to make the top five places overall a complete ITA whitewash. Nicolo Bianchi made the best of his opportunity to take over as helm of Maurizio Abba's Alina with a third in the first race backed up by a fourth place in the next seeing them take the number two spot overall at the end of day one. Fellow Italian Nico Celon, who must hold fond memories of his 2006 World Championship victory on these waters, also performed well today and with a 2,7 scoreline holds the final podium position tonight. In fourth overall is Italian 49er ace Pietro Sibello at the helm of Renato Vallivero's Allin and in fifth sits Michele Giovannini helming Carlo Fracassoli's Saetta.
In the separately scored Corinthian Division, current Corinthian Melges 24 World Champions, Storm Capital Sail Racing Team, came out marginally on top in today's two races. Their 2,4 score gives them just a one point advantage at the top of the Corinthian standings ahead of second placed Mikael Johansson at the helm of John Christian Eriksson's Aqua Racing, who clocked up a five and a two. In third place and only marginally less consistent with a bullet and a seventh is Sergio Cosano's Fish Dog helmed by Maurio Ziliani.
Tomorrow the competitors will have an earlier start to their day, as racing is scheduled to commence promptly at 10AM. Two more races are planned and with the spectacular weather conditions looking set to continue, it looks like another marvellous day of Melges 24 racing is on the cards here in Hyeres.

Aaron Wormus has a new note on his blog today about his presentation at this year's Zend/PHP Conference & Expo and another speaker he's excited to hear.
One of the Zend conference sessions that I'm pretty excited about is Don Samisa Abeysinghe's (of WSO2) "Fully Fletched Web Services with PHP".
I'll be presenting a session on "Moving to PHP5 with Style." This tutorial/case study will be based on experience in transitioning several codebases from PHP4 to PHP5, creating unit tests & started a move towards a service based architecture without a complete platform rewrite.
Aaron's talk fits under the banner of the "PHP Development" talks, including others on topics like hosting PHP applications on Windows, working with PDO, unicoding in PHP6, and using PHPUnit.

ExtJS 4.1.1
Hey everyone,
Let me start off by saying that I realize that this is a duplicate bug. I've seen similar bug reports throughout the forums, but none with a satisfying answer. The posts I've read through are all listed as can not reproduce or as fixed by Mozilla Bug 274626. Unfortunately, I'm certain that this bug has not been fixed as I am currently having problems with it.
The problem is that tooltips are not displayed for disabled fields in firefox. Many users before me have pointed out that Mozilla Bug 274626 addresses this issue and has been fixed. As far as I can tell, these bugs are related, but not the same.
Tooltips for simple HTML inputs are fixed by Mozilla Bug. For example, the following tooltip for a simple HTML input button works correctly when the button is disabled:
Although this bug fixes the problem with tooltips for disabled fields, it does not directly address the problem with extjs controls. In the following code, tooltips are displayed for all buttons when the webpage is loaded in chrome or IE9, but only the tooltip for the enabled buttons display when loaded in Firefox17Code:<button type="button" title = "test" disabled = "disabled" >Click Me!</button>
The fix details of Mozilla Bug 274626 specifically mention that the title attribute of of the control is now correctly displayed when the control is disabled. However, the extjs controls do not have a title attribute.Code:Ext.onReady(function(){ Ext.tip.QuickTipManager.init(); var form = Ext.create('Ext.form.Panel', { renderTo: Ext.getBody(), title: 'Simple Form', bodyPadding: 5, width: 350, layout: 'anchor', defaults: { anchor: '100%' }, // The fields defaultType: 'textfield', items: [{ fieldLabel: 'First Name', name: 'first', allowBlank: false },{ fieldLabel: 'Last Name', name: 'last', allowBlank: false }], // Reset and Submit buttons buttons: [{ text: 'Reset', tooltip : 'my Button Tooltip Text', id : 'my-button ', handler: function() { this.up('form').getForm().reset(); } }, { text: 'Submit', tooltip:'Submit', formBind: true, //disabled: true, handler: function() { Ext.getCmp('my-button ').disable(); } }], renderTo: Ext.getBody() }); });?
This jsfiddle(http://jsfiddle.net/BSjqJ/12/) shows the bug in action. When loading the jsfiddle in chrome or IE9, the tooltips for all buttons should be displayed, regardless of the button being enabled or disabled. However, when loaded in Firefox17, the tooltip for the simple HTML clickme control is displayed, but the tooltip for the disabled ext button is not displayed.
I would greatly appreciate me if someone could let me know if there is a workaround for this or if I'm doing something wrong! Thank you for your help,

Darc News – Placing the Technicals Into Perspective For East Asia Minerals Corp (EAS.V)
As Published in DARC News –
Shares of East Asia Minerals Corp (EAS.V) are nearing some key technical levels as the Rank Correlation indicator has trending higher over the past few sessions, nearing potential overbought territory. Crossing the 80 mark would suggest that a chance of a reversal is increasing.
The Rank Correlation Index (RCI) is based on an analysis algorithm by Charles Spearman. It uses a combination of price change data and time change data to identify potential changes in market sentiment, thereby exposing turning points. Zero crossings are seen as buy and sell signals, with tops and bottoms yielding overbought and oversold information.
Turning to some additional technicals, currently, the 14-day ADX for East Asia Minerals Corp (EAS.V) is 28.42. Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would indicate a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would signal a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would indicate an extremely strong trend. The Average Directional Index or ADX is a technical analysis indicator used to describe if a market is trending or not trending. The ADX alone measures trend strength but not direction. Using the ADX with the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) may help determine the direction of the trend as well as the overall momentum. Many traders will use the ADX alongside other indicators in order to help spot proper trading entry/exit points.
East Asia Minerals Corp (EAS.V) presently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of 103.14. Typically, the CCI oscillates above and below a zero line. Normal oscillations tend to stay in the range of -100 to +100. A CCI reading of +100 may represent overbought conditions, while readings near -100 may indicate oversold territory. Although the CCI indicator was developed for commodities, it has become a popular tool for equity evaluation as well. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of stock price movements. The RSI was developed by J. Welles Wilder, and it oscillates between 0 and 100. Generally, the RSI is considered to be oversold when it falls below 30 and overbought when it heads above 70. RSI can be used to detect general trends as well as finding divergences and failure swings. The 14-day RSI is currently at 50.88, the 7-day stands at 62.87, and the 3-day is sitting at 88.45.
Taking a peek at some Moving Averages, the 200-day is at 0.20, and the 50-day is 0.40. Dedicated investors may be looking to employ another tool for doing technical stock analysis. The Williams Percent Range or Williams %R is a technical indicator that was designed to measure overbought and oversold market conditions. The Williams %R indicator helps show the relative situation of the current price close to the period being observed. East Asia Minerals Corp (EAS.V)'s Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R presently is at -47.62. In general, if the reading goes above -20, the stock may be considered to be overbought. Alternately, if the indicator goes under -80, this may show the stock as being oversold.

ROCKFORD — Several fast-food workers and supporters protested Tuesday morning outside McDonald's, 930 W. Riverside Blvd., in support of a higher minimum wage.
Employee Jamie Branch, 43, of Rockford held a sign that said "Every penny counts when you work for minimum wage."
Branch has worked for that particular restaurant location for about a year but has worked in total for the company for about five years. She still makes close to minimum wage and said it's been more difficult in recent years to cover her bills.
She also helps support her daughter and had her 2 ½-year-old granddaughter, JaNiyla Branch, at the protest with her.
"I'm out here today to support the Fight for $15 campaign and the right to form a union without retaliation, to have support for the workers here at fast-food restaurants and McDonald's across the nation," Branch said. "Workers are starting to unite because we feel like we're not being paid our proper due, and times are getting hard."
The campaign Branch mentioned would raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. President Barack Obama supports raising the rate from $7.25 to $10.10.
Critics of those efforts say that raising the minimum wage that high could potentially cost jobs because companies would lay off workers and depend on fewer employees.
McDonald's workers in several states filed lawsuits against the fast-food chain earlier this month seeking back pay and other damages.

If you grew up in the 1980s, no doubt you played (and loved) arcade game OutRun. But what if you grew up in the 1960s, before there were video games as we now know them?
You could've played mechanical racing games, like Sega's Grand Prix. Working on a similar principle, but not nearly as noisy, is this OutRun analog creation.
Built by a dude named Gustavo, the analog OutRun features looping cars. As website Technabob pointed out, the controller's steering wheel is from an R/C car, and it is outfitted with finger-tip-controlled gas and brake pedals. There's even a speedometer needle that moves.
Magnetic sensors tell when you hit another car, and LEDs and photosensors are used to tell when you run off the road. If only there was a way to get the analog Ferrari to flip over, ejecting the driver and his passenger as well as a way to add "Magical Sound Shower".
In the above video, Gustavo walks us through his creation, which is a mess of wires and coolness.
